Ironically, with the departure of McPake from Dundee, St Mirren now have the longest serving manager in the SPL. At least for a day or so.

Irrespective of the final outcome of this fiasco, we can only hope this does not interrupt the current momentum of the team. It is significant also that 3 of the front runners for the Aberdeen job have strong St Mirren connections. We must be doing something right - other than holding on to our managers!

Reminiscent of the euphoria of promotion era dashed by JR's premature departure. Just as we are looking forward to a top 6 finish (at least) this season - now is the time for our manager to walk away! The king is dead - long live the king!

Overall, our running off the ball is so much improved from pre-Christmas form. More specifically, our January signings have added more threat up front. Hopefully we can maintain this current run of form and involve the young fringe players Henderson and Erhahon and also good to see McCarthy return to fitness. This is the most promising St Mirren team since the heady days of the 80s when we managed to finish 3rd in the league.

What proportion of the cost goes to St Mirren?

Greive not Grieve,

Why can't we play like that every week? Or is that too much to ask?

I did say earlier - this is looking ominous.

I know it's a bit early to make this judgement but Greive (not Grieve) looks the best striking prospect we've had for years.

Can't agree. I think we were clearly the better team in the first half.

We are playing well - this is looking ominous.

We are a bit light in midfield - only Power and Ronan are recognised midfielders. Henderson & Jones will have to get stuck in!

No

Obviously we are now reaching the stage of the season where results will determine more clearly the final league positions. Provided we win tonight, we could hope for the following outcomes elsewhere (assuming we want to finish in the top 6) :- Dundee v Dundee United - home win Hibs v Hearts - away win Livi v St johnstone - away win Ross County v Aberdeen - home win

Joe Shaughnessy?

Hold on to McGrath until the end of the season, signed Jordan Jones on 6 month loan and Gogic possibly on permanent deal? Could we have hoped for more from January transfer window?

After last night's fine performance (and 3 points) - how would we like to see tonight's other results going? My own preferences would be:- away win for Ross County at Tannadice away win for Celtic at Tynecastle draw at Fir Park (Motherwell v Hibs) home win for Rangers v Livi home win for fakes v Dundee

Apart from Power, we're a bit powder puff in the middle of the park - especially against a team like Aberdeen.

Most people on here appear to have listened to the DU commentary team on the livestream. Have they all given up on the St M commentary team? If so - I don't blame them!

Just as well we won tonight - because of results elsewhere. However, we are still in the same league position. Were we pushed back by United in the second half or did we sit back and invite them to come forward? If the latter it was crazy tactics.

Dennis has pulled out - Brophy on from start.
